.SH NAME
genbox - generate a RADIANCE description of a box
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "genbox mat name xsiz ysiz zsiz"
[
.B \-i
][
.B "\-r rad"
|
.B "\-b bev"
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Genbox
produces a RADIANCE scene description of a parallelepiped
with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at
.I "(xsiz, ysiz, zsiz)."
The sides of the box will be parallel to the three coordinate
planes.
The surfaces that make up the box will be modified by
.I mat
and their identifiers will begin with
.I name.
The
.I \-i
option can be used to produce a box with inward directed surface
normals.
The
.I \-r
option can be used to specify the radius for rounded edges.
The
.I \-b
option can be used to specify the indentation for beveled edges.
.SH EXAMPLE
To produce a rectangular box made of wood with beveled edges:
.IP "" .2i
genbox wood box1 5 8 3 \-b .5 > box1

.SH BUGS
Because spheres and cylinders are used to construct boxes with
rounded edges, a transparent box of this type appears quite messy.
